Builders’ merchant e-commerce
Bring product availability, trade ordering and practical delivery into one operation.
Built around the products you actually sell.
Building materials are sold in different units, quantities and delivery profiles. A customer may buy individual items, bags, lengths or pallets. Publishing a price without a clear unit or a realistic fulfilment method creates avoidable problems.
An online channel should respect how the trade counter works. Account pricing, quotations, collection and specialist delivery can be assessed alongside product data and stock. The first launch should concentrate on products that can be described, priced and fulfilled reliably.
A clear operational workflow.
Agree the rules, give each step an owner, and make exceptions visible.
What we establish together.
- Units of measure, pack quantities and trade descriptions
- Trade-account pricing and approval requirements
- Vehicle access, unloading and heavy-product rules
- Collection process and branch-specific stock
A paving order needs the right quantity calculation, load profile and delivery arrangement. Vehoo can present the agreed service while keeping dispatch and operational handling connected behind the scenes.
This example explains the workflow; it is not a customer case study or a performance claim.
Your questions, answered.
Can we support trade-account pricing?
Account pricing and buyer permissions can be assessed as a bespoke capability.
Can prices be shown per pack or unit?
The catalogue should clearly define the selling unit and any pack conversion.
Can we keep our delivery vehicle?
A suitable existing vehicle can be part of the operating arrangement while Vehoo connects the order workflow.
Can customers collect building supplies?
Collection can be offered with preparation timing, location and loading instructions.
Must complex products use instant checkout?
No. Some products or access requirements may need a reviewed quotation or eligibility check.
Retail point of sale
Included POS software at zero cost that connect the shop counter to your wider retail operation.
02High-value & bulky retail orders
Plan delivery around furniture, building materials and other products that need more than a parcel label.
03Click & collect for retailers
Let customers order online and collect from your store through a reliable reservation and handover process.
Selling units need to survive the whole journey.
Customers may compare a price per metre or square metre but buy a pack, sheet or pallet. The catalogue, checkout and picking task must use consistent quantities so staff prepare what the customer expects.
Your included inventory and warehouse system supports the location and unit records behind those sales. Vehoo handles the delivery workflow, with vehicle access and unloading requirements considered before a bulky order is accepted.
Your systems can be part of the plan.
Explore platform-specific connection routes, supported data and the checks we make before launch. If your system is not listed, we can assess its API, connector or export options.
